Considerations about Creative Environments for Students
Lloveras, J. // 2012
A new idea is based on old ideas and knowledge produced by other minds, but an idea is born in the mind of one person, even when working with others. This article analyses several factors ...
CORRELATION OF STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PRODUCT DESIGN STRUCTURE MATRICES
Biedermann, W.; Lindemann, U. // 2012
Structural analyses are widely accepted as a major tool in early design phases. However, due to recent advances in graph theory such as motif analysis an almost infinite number of analysis criteria ...
Cost Optimization of Product Families using Analytic Cost Models
Brunoe, Thomas Ditlev; Nielsen, Peter // 2012
This paper presents a new method for analysing the cost structure of a mass customized product family. The method uses linear regression and backwards selection to reduce the complexity of a data set ...
Courses in Creative Tools and Models of Design Thinking
Robertson, E. // 2012

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
